I am also in an organization called Toastmaters, which is a public speaking group. I was considering doing this as a speech that involves visual aids, so doing a writeup would assist in that decision as well.

For those why don't have smartphones, there are websites with online QR readers, too. If it makes you feel better, chrisj, I had fits trying to read the code, at first, and thought it might not be a clue, either. Remember to lower your camera resolution, or it might not be able to read properly.

I came way late to this party. I saw the QR code and figured it had something to do with the challenge but the only thing my phone got from it was an email address so I wasn't sure whether this was part of the challenge or not.

Learned something new! I had worked a little with those 2D barcodes before, but only using handheld scanners in a warehouse. I didn't know that there were smartphone apps and websites that decoded those for you too.
